Seahawks sign RB Bryce Brown, waive B.J. Daniels

The Seahawks have signed running back Bryce Brown, a former backup with Philadelphia and Buffalo whose addition to Seattle’s roster comes with Thomas Rawls nursing a calf injury.

The Seahawks waived wide receiver B.J. Daniels to make room for Brown. Those moves were listed on the NFL’s transaction report.

Brown, 24, is listed at 6 feet and 220 pounds. He began the season in Buffalo but was inactive for the opener and then waived. The Bills acquired Brown last year in a trade with Philadelphia, which had chosen him in the seventh round in 2012. Brown carried 190 times for 878 yards and six touchdowns during his two seasons with the Eagles then only played in seven games last year with Buffalo.

Rawls was injured in Seattle’s win over San Francisco. Coach Pete Carroll called it a contusion on his calf and said the extra days off following the Thursday night game should help, but he added that Rawls probably wouldn’t be able to practice until Thursday at the earliest.
